  Notes	Adam is the Father [and Patriach] of all of the human family. He is the ancesto of all persons who ever lived on this earth. In the pre-existenct life, he was known as Michael the Archangle. When Lucifer and one-third of the host of heaven rebeled againest the Father, Michael led the righteous forces in the war in heaven. He participated with Christ in the creation of the earth. Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden with a body created in the image of God. When he and Eve fell from the Garden, their bodies became mortal and subject to death. The fall of Adam, by introducing sin and death into the world, made necessary the mission of a Savior to overcome both sin and death. [The aggregate of the scriptures certifies that his transgression in the Garden of Eden, although designated as a "fall," was necessary to the advancement and spiritual progress of humanity on the earth (Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.- 2 Nephi 2:25). - Bible Dictionary p 604]. One of the greatest spiritual gathering of all the ages took place in the Valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman shortly before the death of Adam some five thousand years ago. The Lord has revealed: Three years previous to the death of Adam, he Called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, who were all high priests, with the residue of hi posterity who were righteous, into the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman, and there bestowed upon them his last blessing. And the Lord appeared unto them, and they rose up and blessed Adam, and they called him Michael, the prince, the archangel. And the Lord administered comfort unto Adam, and said unto him: I have set thee to be at the head; a multitude of nations shall come of thee, thou art a prince over them forever. And Adam stood up in the midst of the congergation; and, notwithstanding he was bowed down with age, being full of the Holy Ghost, perdicted whatsoever should befall his posterity unto the lastest generation. (D&C 107:53-57) Shortly before the Second Coming of Christ, Adam will again visit the earth and preside over an important council at Adam-ondi-Ahman. There he will receive an accounting from those who have held the keys of authority in the various dispensations. Christ will then come to the gathering and receive back the keys, thus taking one of the final steps leading to His coming in glory and personal reign upon the earth.(Royal Ancestors of Some LDS Families, by Michael Call, p 251 - inserts added by Gerald B.
